In my opinion (operative words!), multi-coatings are important but only part of the filter quality equation. The other parts are quality of the glass itself and build quality. Of the three pieces, I put quality of the glass first, build quality second, and coatings third. I think most of us use a UV filter for lens protection and in this situation, coatings are an added plus but not a deal breaker.
Filter connection has a brief discussion on why multi-coatings are important - http://www.2filter.com/faq/multicoatedfaq.html Regards - Paul in NoVA C-730 (no stickers) B-300 |

Check the "Coated vs. Non-Coated" page in the Filters section of my Coolpix 950/990/995/4500 user guide for the details.
